For further information read our FAQ’s, we have listed information below regarding the types of straws as this is the MOST commonly asked question!

Plastic, PLA and Oxy straws are a major issue if they end up in the natural environment, whether it be waterways or the rainforest. These types of straws remain hard, rigid and impose a threat to marine life/wildlife if ingested. Similarly these types of straws require industrial facilities* for them to even begin to break down. *See our FAQs

The only single-use type of straw recommended for commercial use is paper – as it will soften if it happens to fall into the marine environment, imposing minimal impact to wildlife. They will also decompose completely under minimal conditions – this will happen even in your own compost bin.
